'Joys come from simple and natural things: mist over meadows, sunlight on leaves, the path of the moon over water.' ~Sigurd Olson
Another cold, frosty morning but they say that is about to change. Looking at the sun rising over the local marsh.

When it was so cold, I was happy to feed everyone.

A snowy morning at Lake Hope State Park. It feels like it will be a good day to hang out by the fireplace. #Ohio

I think I'd like to have a discussion with that groundhog.

I was told that this is affectionately known as the 'pee pee dance.' The flamingos are stirring up crustaceans from the sand below. Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary, Bonaire

Williamstoren lighthouse, Bonaire’s first lighthouse, built in 1837. Located on the southern end of the island, this area is windy and wild, with the rough Caribbean Sea on one side and the salt flats on the other.

Spotted this pair of adorable wild Nubian donkeys in Lac Bay National Park. I was told these donkeys are protected on the island and there is even a donkey sanctuary that cares for sick, abandoned and older donkeys.

On the southern tip of Bonaire is the Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary, a crucial breeding ground for Caribbean flamingos. It is one of only four such places globally, known for its vast, pink-hued salt pans where thousands of flamingos feed on algae and crustaceans. Just incredible!

Lac Cai Beach Bonaire is surrounded by mangrove forests and singing birds, and is nothing short of a beautiful paradise. Calm, inviting turquoise waters and soft, sandy beaches stretch out for miles providing a peaceful tranquility that can only be found far off the beaten path.

This brown pelican either found a good place for a nap or a unique spot to find lunch. Lac Bay, Bonaire

A very humid and warm 81°F arrival in Bonaire. I am hopeful and excited to see many of the colorful residents of this lovely island.

Good morning from somewhere in the Caribbean Sea.

I came to this part of the world to see these beautiful Caribbean Flamingos. My first glimpse at Flamingo Salt Lake of Seru Largu National Park, Curaçao.

The beautiful rays of the setting sun over the eastern coast of Cuba and the Nipe Sagua Baracoa mountain range. Home to the second highest Cuban peak, Pico Cristal (1,231 m).

Taken in the Windward Passage, a deep strait between Cuba and Haiti, connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

"Wasn't there snow here yesterday?" I mean, I am guessing that's why this junco is looking confused.

Happy Winter Solstice!

I played hide and seek with this shy red-headed woodpecker for a good 10 minutes. There really wasn't much interest in letting me get a photo.
